Gender issues in management promotions in the health services : a Malawian perspectiveChirwa, Maureen Leah 02 1900 (has links)
This study sought to explore gender issues affecting management promotions in Malawi's
health care services, utilising both qualitative and quantitative techniques in data collection
and analysis. Promotion patterns were compared and contrasted for male and female
managers.
The study was based on the assumptions that
• both men and women were aware of experiences that affected their promotion
opportunities
• promotion patterns showed fewer variations than did cultural, social and gender
factors
• male prejudices were maintained which oppressed women's promotions
• increased decision-making power lowered stress about professional growth and
development
The findings supported the first two assumptions, but not the last two.
The findings suggested that males and females encountered similar experiences concerning managerial
promotions in Malawi's health care services.
Factors that enhanced management successes for both males and females included
management orientation and mentorship. Unclear promotion policies and procedures
hindered management promotions. Information derived from this research could enable
policy-makers to establish an environment that increases supportive networks and
interactions between male and female managers in Malawi. Furthermore, to ensure equal
opportunities in the health care services management, monitoring strategies by Malawi's
Ministry of Gender, the Department of Human Resources Management and Development,
and the Ministry of Health and Population need to be established and implemented. / Health Studies / D.Litt. et Phil. (Advanced Nursing Sciences)

Die rol van die Franse ministeriele cabinet : 'n vertolkingAuriacombe, Christelle Jeanette 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In die politieke en administratiewe stelsel van Frankryk bestaan die ministeriele
cabinet as 'n instelling eiesoortig aan Frankryk, met die doel om ministers
individueel in stoat te stel om die politieke wil van die regering ten uitvoer te
bring. Die gesag van die cabinets is kontroversieel en word enersyds geprys en
andersyds gekritiseer.
Die Franse ministeriele cabinet neem die plek in van 'n permanente
departementshoof. en bestaan uit 'n groep persoonlike personeel wot aan
elke minister verbonde is. Sy funksie is om horn te ondersteun en te adviseer
sodat hy 'n ingeligte oordeel kan fel voordat hy besluite neem, en ook om te
verseker dot sy beleid geformuleer, verduidelik en uitgevoer word.
Die ministeriele cabinet was oorspronklik 'n politieke instelling wot in die
algemeen uit politieke bondgenote van die minister bestaan het. In die Vyfde
Republiek het dit egter ontwikkel tot 'n formele instelling. Dit het 'n
onontbeerlike rol begin speel om die skakeling van die politieke stelsel met die
administratiewe stelsel te bewerkstellig en ko6rdinering te verseker.
Net soos die ministers, funksioneer die cabinets op daardie kruispunte waar
verskeie politieke en administratiewe instellings met mekaar skakel. Hulle vervul
gevolglik 'n sleutelrol om skakeling te fasiliteer en samewerking te bewerkstellig.
Ministeriele cabinets verbind dus die politieke partye, die Parlement,
belangegroepe en drukgroepe met ministeries (staatsdepartemente) as
uiNoerende instellings.
In hierdie proefskrif word die funksionering van die cabinets ontleed en hulle
besondere rol in die Franse politieke en administratiewe stelsel vertolk.
Die skrywer het bevind dot, waar cabinets effektief funksioneer, hulle
doelmatige en doeltreffende meganismes is om die verhouding tussen die
politieke en administratiewe stelsel in die bree te versterk tot voordeel van goele
regering. Cabinets wot egter nie effektief funksioneer nie, lei tot 'n verswakking
in die verhoudinge in en tussen ministeries met nadelige gevolge vir die regering.
Voorts is bevind dot die cabinets 'n belangrike rol vervul om die kloof tussen die
minister en die amptenare in sy ministerie te oorbrug. 'n Cabinet kan dus 'n
minister se loopbaan bevorder of benadeel. / The French political and administrative system includes the ministerial cabinet,
a uniquely French institution that exists with the purpose of enabling individual
ministers to execute the political will of the government. The authority of the
cabinets is either praised or criticised.
The French ministerial cabinet substitutes for a permanent head of a
deportment, and consists of a group of personal staff serving each minister. Its
function is to support and advise him, in order to enable him to make informed
judgements before taking decisions, and also to ensure that his policy is
formulated. clarified and executed.
In its original form the ministerial cabinet was a political institution, generally
consisting of political allies of the minister. However. in the Fifth Republic it was
transformed into a formal institution. It acquired an indispensable role in
effecting liaison and co-ordination of the political system with the administrative
system.
The cabinets, like the ministers, function at the intersections of political and
administrative institutions. Thus they play a key role in facilitating liaison. Hence.
ministerial cabinets link the political parties, Parliament, interest groups and
pressure groups, with the ministries (state deportments) as executive institutions.
This thesis consists of an analysis of the functioning of cabinets, and interprets
their particular role in the French political and administrative system.
The author has found that where cabinets function as efficient and effective
mechanisms, they strengthen the relationship of the political and administrative
systems in general to the advantage of good governance. Ineffective cabinets,
however. impair the relations within and among ministries to the disadvantage
of the government. It has also been established that cabinets play an
important role in bridging the gap between the minister and the officials in his
ministry. A cabinet can thus improve or damage a minister's career. / Public Administration and Management / D. Litt. et Phil. (Publieke Administrasie)

The methodology by which transitional justice strategies ought to be incorporated into the International Criminal Court frameworkSiang'andu, Twaambo Ellah Mapenzi 01 September 2016 (has links)
This research seeks to establish a methodology by which transitional justice strategies ought to be incorporated within the International Criminal Court (ICC) framework. The study is based on the situation in Uganda as an example of the state that has a situation and cases before the ICC. The aim of the thesis was achieved through the adoption of a combination of theoretical legal research and the non -doctrinal approaches.
This research establishes that the primary responsibility to prosecute persons suspected of violating international law lies with the states. The importance of the concept of individual criminal responsibility, the idea that every person suspected of committing the most serious offences must be held accountable regardless of status. The principle of individual criminal responsibility is further developed with the creation of the ICC.
This research clarifies that there are limitations in terms of what prosecutions can achieve during transitional periods; further, that trials in the ICC and national courts can be undertaken together with proceedings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions or indigenous mechasims. Such an approach will allow for confines of prosecutions to be addressed.
Despite the existence of principles and institutional framework that are intended to ensure individuals are held accountable for the most serious offences of international concern, the majority of individuals are not held accountable. In order for the ICC to operate effectively it would need to seek to go beyond deterrence and retribution. This would require post – conflict states to devise transitional arrangements that compel with the ICC structure.
Thus the research recommends that it would be better for judicial and non- judicial measures to be adopted in states that have cases before the ICC. Particularly Uganda must adopt the mato oput method formally as a tool to address the past human rights abuses in Uganda. All persons regardless of whether they have been granted amnesty or not must be held accountable under the mato oput measures. This implies all persons with exception to those that the ICC has issued the warrants of arrest against. / Public, Constitutional and International Law / LL. D.

企業併購的動態競爭分析 ─ 以台灣半導體封測廠商日月光與矽品合併為例 / Dynamic Competition Analysis in M&A – A Case Study of ASE-SPIL Merger賴品中 Unknown Date (has links)
2016年全球半導體產值約 3,270 億美元,台灣半導體產值佔全球的23%,繼續蟬聯全球第二大半導體產業大國,排行僅次於美國。此外,台灣以出口為導向,根據我國財政部統計,2017上半年積體電路出口金額占整體出口總值的27.6%,是我國最主要的出口產品,可見半導體產業對台灣的影響力不言而喻。
近年來半導體併購浪潮興起,台灣廠商也無法置身事外,最受矚目非日月光與矽品的非合意併購案莫屬。一般學術論文對於非合意併購案的探討,著重於併購前的動機與併購後的綜效,鮮少討論雙方在併購過程中的攻防。故本研究欲以動態競爭觀點,並考量政府對併購成敗的影響,來找出矽品最後同意日月光共組控股公司之提案的原因,並分析此合併案對全球封測產業所造成的影響。
本研究發現雙方在合併前,應用產品及地區的市場共同性,分別呈現上升及下降趨勢,透過收購矽品,日月光不僅能追趕其主要競爭對手在車用電子的領先地位,更可以降低營收過度集中於北美的風險。另外,雙方在台灣及中國的專利申請數量有下降趨勢,但在美國專利的申請數有明顯增加且資源相似性也呈上升趨勢,故推論日月光收購矽品可鞏固其在北美市場的領導地位。總而言之,雖然日矽合併案被外界視為雙贏結果,但客戶轉單、中國商務部的限制條件及收購溢價偏高可能使得此合併綜效有限。在面對中國封測產商崛起、封測產業的市場集中度上升及半導體產業中下游界限越來越不明確的情況下,雙方合併為必然之勢。 / The worldwide semiconductor market grew 1.1% in 2016 to $338.9 billion USD, in which Taiwan accounts for 23% of the total output. Taiwan continues to rank as the world's second largest semiconductor industry, with the first being America. Taiwan is export oriented, and from the statistical data provided by the Ministry of Finance, the shipment of integrated circuit exports accounted for 27.6% of gross export value in the first two quarters of 2017. This indicates that integrated circuit is an important export product and that the semiconductor industry is of great importance to Taiwan.
The recent and unprecedented M&A waves in the semiconductor industry caused major changes and created impact on Taiwanese semiconductor firm. The recent case that drew most attention is the M&A between ASE (Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.) and SPIL (Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd). While most academic theses focus on the acquiring firm’s motive and post-M&A synergy, the offense and defense strategies during the M&A process are rarely explored. This research aims to focus on reasons why SPIL agreed on ASE’s proposal to form a joint venture holding company and the impact on the global OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) industry after this M&A. This thesis utilized the dynamic competitive perspective and identifies government’s impact on M&A.
The study finds that before the merger, the commonality of product shows an upward trend while the commonality of region market presents a downward direction. This merger not only assists ASE to catch up with its leading competitors in the automotive electronics sectors, but also reduce the revenue concentration risk, given that its major sales is in North America. In addition, the number of patents filed by both companies in Taiwan and China has declined, but the number in the United States has increased significantly along with an escalating resource similarity. Therefore, the research concludes that the acquisition of SPIL can consolidate ASE’s leading position in the North American market. To sum up, the merger of ASE and SPIL is regarded as win-win outcome. However, the M&A has risks, such as customer attrition, restriction from The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) and merger overpayment. Such uncertainties may reduce synergy. Nevertheless, in the face of the rise of China's OSAT business, the market concentration of OSAT industry, and the increasingly unclear boundary between the middle and downstream firms, the merger of the two firms is inevitable.

Intégration d'une couche spatiale dans l'architecture du Web sémantique : une proposition via la plateforme ArchaeoKM / Introduction of a spatial layer in the Semantic Web framework : a proposition through the Web platform ArchaeoKMKarmacharya, Ashish 30 June 2011 (has links)
L’analyse spatiale de données géographies connaît un regain d’intérêt dans la communauté des bases de données relationnelles. Plus spécifiquement, les opérations et les fonctions spatiales utilisées comme base de l’analyse spatiale sont implémentées par les grands noms des systèmes de gestion de bases de données relationnelles limitant ainsi l’hétérogénéité structurelle des systèmes. En outre, la littérature est abondante en publications dans le domaine des ontologies spatiales afin de limiter l’hétérogénéité sémantique des sources de données tout en améliorant l’interopérabilité de ces données. Bien que l’interopérabilité des données soit l’un des objectifs du Web Sémantique, tout le potentiel de ces outils et de ces techniques basés sur la connaissance n’a pas été révélé. Avec l’influence sans cesse croissante du Web Sémantique à travers ces outils et applications en gestion de la connaissance et système intelligent, les applications utilisant des données géospatiales suivent ce phénomène en bénéficiant de son influence. Cette thèse se focalise sur l’utilisation de la connaissance métier afin de gérer des données spatiales à l’aide des technologies du Web sémantique. L’activité de recherche menée dans le cadre de cette thèse est réalisée sur des données provenant du domaine de l’archéologie industrielle. Cet environnement se caractérise par son hétérogénéité et sa grande quantité de données offrant ainsi un cadre idéal pour la réalisation d’un outil de gestion de connaissance. Cet outil basé sur les technologies du Web Sémantique a été prototypé sous le nom d’ArchaeoKM suivant le principe des 4 K, Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Management, Knowledge Visualization and Knowledge Analysis. Ce même principe est mis en œuvre pour les données spatiales. Une ontologie de haut niveau a été développée pour servir de cadre applicatif à la gestion des données spatiales permettant d’ajuster une ontologie de domaines sans composante spatiale. Le processus de gestion de la connaissance commence avec l’acquisition de la signature spatiale des objets identifiés. Cette signature est stockée dans un système de gestion de bases de données spatiales et est référencée par l’objet correspondant dans la base de connaissance. La connaissance spatiale de ces objets est générée à l’aide des fonctions et des opérations spatiales au niveau de la base de données spatiale et l’enrichissement de la base de connaissance est réalisé avec le résultat de ces opérations et fonctions. L’inférence de nouvelle connaissance sur la base des données existante est réalisée à l’aide de SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language). De plus, ce langage a été étendu à l’aide de nouveaux built-ins spatiaux afin de prendre en sidération la dimension spatiale des données. De même, cette dimension spatiale a été apportée au langage SPARQL afin de réaliser des requêtes spatiales sur la base de connaissances.En effet, l’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’initier le premier pas vers l’intégration des composantes spatiales avec les technologies du Web Sémantique. Le processus d’intégration est premier plan pour les deux technologies. D’un point de vue Web Sémantique, l’intégration de données non communes dans ce cadre applicatif ouvre la porte à l’intégration de données beaucoup plus large. D’un point de vue des systèmes d’information géographique, l’inclusion de la connaissance permet une gestion métier des données rendant l’analyse plus proche de l’interprétation humaine. / Spatial technology has gained momentum under database systems. More specifically, the spatial operations and spatial functions are used to carry out spatial analysis which can be executed through these database systems. In addition, there has been significant amount of research in the field of the geospatial ontology domain in order to achieve the semantic interoperability between different data sources. Although, data interoperability is one of the main objectives of the Semantic Web technologies, the potentiality of the underlying knowledge tools and techniques have not been completely identified. With the growing influence of the Semantic Web technologies towards the application based on knowledge management and intelligent systems, the geospatial application benefits from this influence. This thesis emphasizes on the use of knowledge to manage spatial data within spatial information systems through the Semantic Web framework. This research activity is carried out with the backdrop of the case study of the industrial archaeology. It sets up an ideal environment for the application of knowledge to manage the huge and heterogeneous dataset. The use of knowledge to manage the diversity of information was well executed through the application prototype named ArchaeoKM which is based on the Semantic Web. The ArchaeoKM framework follows the 4Ks processing steps: Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Management, Knowledge Visualization and Knowledge Analysis. The same processing principle of 4Ks was implemented during the spatial knowledge processing. A top level ontology was developed in order to serve as the background representation of the case study in order to adjust the spatial components. Keeping the custom, the spatial knowledge processing begins with acquiring spatial signatures of the identified objects. The spatial signatures are stored within the spatial database system with proper mapping to the objects in the knowledge base. The spatial knowledge of these objects is managed through executing the spatial functions at the database level and enriching the knowledge base with the results. This spatially enriched knowledge base is used again to analyze the spatial knowledge. This research thesis benefits from Semantic Web Rule Language in order to infer knowledge. In addition, the spatial built-ins proposed during the course add up spatial dimension to the SWRL for spatial inferences. Similarly, a spatial extension of the query language SPARQL is proposed in order to query spatial knowledge from the knowledge base. Actually, this research thesis provides the initial steps in integrating spatial components within the Semantic Web framework. This integration process is important for both technologies. Regarding the Semantic Web, the integration of non-typical semantic information within this framework opens up doors to other data pattern making the transformation of technologies easier. Likewise, geospatial technologies and GIS systems benefits through the inclusion of knowledge in the analysis process making the analysis much closer and efficient to human interpretation.

The place of community values within community-based conservation : the case of Driftsands Nature Reserve, Cape TownFoot, Shelley 06 1900 (has links)
The most contemporary approach to biodiversity conservation within South Africa is that of
community-based initiatives, which seek to combine biodiversity conservation with socioeconomic
development. As a challenge to the Western, science laden approaches to
conservation there is an increasing need for community initiatives to reflect the values of
local communities.
Values of local communities and the management body, CapeNature, with regards to
Driftsands Nature Reserve, Cape Town, were captured and analytically coded through the
qualitative methods of interviewing and participant observation in order to develop a
grounded theory and model.
A discussion of the expressed values suggests that community-based conservation
initiatives are doing little to include community values even though there is a large degree of
agreement between these and corporate values. As such, it is questioned whether
community-based conservation can be practised within an organisation which, due to
procedures and protocols, is top-down in its approach. / Geography / M. Sc. (Geography)

Polyfunkční dům Prudký - stavebně technologický projekt / Multifunctional house Prudký - construction technology projectKaláb, Ondřej January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this Diploma Thesis is constructionally - technological solution of the rough construction of polyfunctional house on the corner of Bánskobystrická and Medlánecká streets in Brno Řečkovice. In the Diploma Thesis I will deal with the plan of the work procedure of the execution of roof construction layers, machine sets, itemized budget, construction schedule, construction site equipment, inspection and testing plan, ecology and transport relations related to the construction. I would like to point out the complication of the construction with a lack of space because the construction is in the area of Brno Řečkovice. The plan of construction execution was more difficult due to lack of space for storage of materials and machinery handling.
